Lied Discovery Museum

Juli invited us to the Lied Discovery Museum yesterday. They have a new Curious George area and so we went for a little pre birthday celebration for Lucy. Amber, Everett, Jordyn, and Lucas came too. The museum was crazy busy with tons of elementary school kids on field trips! The kids still had a fun time while they played and explored for a couple of hours. After we couldn't take anymore we all headed to Jason's Deli for lunch. Fun, fun day!

{A Lover's Holiday}

Every year I think I love Valentine's Day a little more. I love that we have a day dedicated to showing those we love just how much we love them. It is just a happy day!

I think everyday could be just as happy with everything covered in red and pink hearts and love notes everywhere!

Chris surprised me with a bike and trailer. I have been wanting one for a while so I don;t have to run behind the kids and try and keep up! We exchanged cards, gave lots of hugs and kisses, and spent the day being together. We had our 2nd annual Valentine's Day dinner(picnic -style) while watching a movie. The kids love that! Pretty much another day, but with lots of LOVE!

I am not really a football fan, so I don't really care much about the Superbowl, the actual game that is. I do love a Superbowl party though! Good food and good company, never go wrong with that! And Aubrey thinks so too!

Kind of amazing, It was bedtime and Aubrey was still so so happy!

Very cold outside, but not stopping these guys from playing outside. Chris came home from work and thought I was crazy for letting them be out there. I was just enjoying making dinner in peace and quiet even if it was only for a little bit!

All of my siblings and their spouses and my parents were together for Katie's patriarchal blessing. It was a beautiful blessing!

Chris spent the day helping Jenny paint her room, so we came over to check out her room.

Girl's night in honor of Heather's birthday. We grabbed some food at I heart burgers and then went to see The Vow. I loved it!

My Chloe girl. She is growing up too fast!

Nice Weather= Park Day

Lately we have been having some beautiful weather. It was so nice yesterday that the kids actually wore shorts to school. And when the weather is absolutely perfect you should go to the park! Nick and Chloe were at piano, but Cooper and Alex had a blast playing with 'the girls'. Nice way to spend the afternoon.

100th Day

Yesterday the kids celebrated their 100th day of school. Kindergarten and First Grade really went all out for their celebrations! All the first graders dressed up like they were 100 years old. They counted 100 things and made poster of 100 things. They decorated their 100 crowns and ate 100 snacks. Yay to 100 days of first grade, only 80 more to go!

Date Night- Alex & Mom

One of my New Year's resolutions was to have more one on one time with my kids. I also really wanted Alex to learn all of his sight words. We have been working on them for a while, so I told him that as soon as he knew all of them then we could go on a date. I should have told him that a long time ago because after I told him that he got all of them right in less than a week!

I let him pick where he wanted to go and he picked to go eat at Chili's. That boy must be growing, he ordered ribs off the adult menu and scarfed them down in like 2 minutes! It was nice to talk with him without any interruptions. After dinner we stopped at Baskin Robbins (Alex's favorite) for a treat.

I loved spending some quality time with my boy and I know he loved it just as much!

She may look cute, but looks can be very deceiving! 1 o'clock church is hard with a little friend who is ready for a nap right when church starts. This was taken right after a melt down, a little snack can make things better(sometimes!).

NEVER EVER getting a dog might have been taken out of Chris' vocabulary.

The neighbor was dog sitting and he got out. Chris decided to take care of him until our neighbor could come get him. It was cute- they were playing baseball together!!

This is the year that Chloe gets baptized. This last Saturday we went to the baptism of one of the little girls, Isabelle, in Chloe's class.
